Throughout history, humans have developed several simple machines to make work easier. The most notable of these are known as the "six simple machines": the wheel and axle, the lever, the inclined ...

imple machines help us change the amount of force or the direction of the force needed to move an object. Find out how by learning more about levers. Major Funding by the Laura Moore Cunningham ...

The film *Spinning Levers* explores the fundamental mechanics of levers and gears, illustrating their role in various everyday applications and in the complex workings of a car’s transmission.

After learning about the lever, wheel and axle, pulley, inclined plane, wedge and screw, the students designed a future Hilltop playground, one that included examples of each simple machine studied.

When you push or pull with a simple machine, you are applying a force and doing work. And, if you get more force out of a machine than you put into it, then that machine has a mechanical advantage.
